The Phoenix

The days are gone 
And the place is dry 
Nothin good was done 
There's even no fly 

Dreams were totally shattered 
And silence filled the place 
All wishes were scattered 
Around the fool's face 

They came in a sheep's mask 
Pretending to be helpful 
They only came to complete a task 
And left no soul restful 

Unfortunately they weren't aware of a living soul 
It died and lived again, making their lives a foul
